Electric : Car News And Reviews

I’ll be the first to admit that I think the current generation Nissan LEAF is a bit of an ugly duckling. I’ve never driven one, so I can’t comment on how it stacks up to other EVs I’ve driven like the Chevy Bolt and BMW i3, but my sense is that Nissan’s first-to-market advantage has slipped away since it first premiered in 2010, and it was time for a major revamp.
With that in mind, the company has taken the wraps off of its new 2018 Nissan LEAF, and it’s appears to be a significant step forward, both from a technological point of view, and in terms of its design.

British EV startup Alcraft Motor Company is showing off its first car design, a sleek and modern shooting brake, dubbed the Alcraft GT. This pure electric car is designed to offer a blend of impressive power, handling, and practicality, and the company plans on raising funds via crowdfunding to bring it to reality.
The design of the Alcraft GT is a bit of an acquired taste if you ask me, with its squatty, shoe-like shape, but it’s certainly got plenty of curves, and is definitely different from anything else out there.
The car is designed with a powerful three-motor, four-wheel drivetrain in mind, with impressive specs of 600 horsepower and 840 lb-ft.

The BMW i3 has been around since 2014, and since its initial launch, the compact EV hasn’t changed a bit. But for 2018, not only is the base i3 getting tweaked, there’s a whole new trim level that combines sport styling and a modest power bump.
The BMW i3s not only has a sportier look, but has been given a sport suspension, as well as a tiny 10mm drop in height.

If you’re looking for truly off-road capable vehicle that also happens to be crazy fast, there aren’t too many choices. But the Nikola Zero aims to change that, with a rugged all-terrain vehicle with an all-electric drivetrain that’s as powerful as many high-end sports cars.
Built with a similar look and capabilities to the 4-seat RZR UTVs made by Polaris, this bad boy has massive 32-inch tires, bead-lock wheels, 20″ of suspension travel in both the front and rear, and 14.5″

With just 918 cars ever built, the Porsche 918 Spyder is quite a rare breed. You’re lucky if you see just one of these impressive hybrid hypercars on the road, so the idea of 19 of them gathering together in the same place is really something special.

Tesla buyers love their cars for lots of reasons. They’re fast, high-tech, spacious, and use no fossil fuels. But one thing I’ve never been crazy about with Tesla is their stock interiors. For a luxury vehicle, I think they could do much better in terms of materials and overall cabin styling.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk had promised the delivery of the first few Model 3 cars would be be done this month, and that promise has been fulfilled. The company handed over the keys to the first few Model 3 cars at its Fremont, California factory over the weekend.

Bollinger Motors has unveiled an all-new electric SUV called the B1 and the truck is meant for serious off-roading. It looks a bit like a flattened Land Rover Defender to me, but this vehicle is driven by electric motors.

A video recently turned up showing what is apparently the third ever Tesla Model 3 to roll off of the production line. The dude you see somewhat awkwardly climbing behind the wheel of the Model 3 in the video is Tesla Sr.

The future is now, people, and as consumers we play a crucial role in shaping it. Buyer interest in autonomous, electric, tech-filled, and connected cars is molding the roads automakers follow, with many vehicles looking like they’ve been pulled straight from the pages of a science fiction script.

Novitec is a company that normally lends its tuning talents to exotics like the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. The company has announced that it is turning its talents to an electric car for the first time with the Tesla Model X.

Despite the fact that it looks like a station wagon, Kia insists on calling its Niro hybrid a crossover. Perhaps it’s due to the wild popularity of crossovers, or the stigma attached to the car-like height of station wagons.

A few days back Elon Musk promised that the very first production Model 3 would be complete by last Friday, and that promise was fulfilled. Musk later tweeted some images of the very first Model 3 off the assembly line, and the car looks very cool.
